Nestled within a landmark historical building in the water city of Venice, it is a new destination that combines shopping, culture, and entertainment.
DFS Group, the world’s leading luxury travel retailer, officially opened the German Pavilion at DFS’s T Galleria Venice on October 1, 2016. The store is located in the historic heart of Venice, situated along the Grand Canal, and is housed within a landmark building that once served as a hub for East-West trade. The German Pavilion at DFS’s T Galleria Venice offers a curated selection of top-tier luxury goods from Italian and international brands. Spanning approximately 7,000 square meters, the retail space features categories including fashion and accessories, watches and jewelry, wines, beauty and fragrances, as well as a range of locally sourced handicrafts and gourmet foods. In addition, the store will serve as a new cultural exchange hub in Venice, hosting various events and exhibitions throughout the year.
DFS’s T Galleria, formerly known as DFS Galleria, is an innovative extension of the travel retail concept first pioneered by DFS. The first downtown store was launched in Hong Kong in 1968, followed shortly by another in Hawaii. Today, DFS operates 18 downtown stores worldwide, with all but one located across Asia, Oceania, and the South Pacific. With the letter T representing travel and traveler, T Galleria better caters to customer expectations: a destination for the world’s leading luxury brands, a unique shopping environment, personalized service, and an intimate shopping experience. T Galleria allows travelers to express their personal style wherever their journey takes them.
